NEditing the Administrator Password field while connected via the LAN port does not affect your current login. The administrator password requirement takes affect at the next login. Extron recommends assigning an administrator’s password to qualified and knowledgeable personnel only.

NAn administrator password must be created before a user password can be created.

NThe following characters are invalid in passwords: {space} + ~ , @ = ‘ [ ] { } < > ’ “ ; : \ and ?.

Edit this field as follows:

1.	Click in the Administrator or User Password field.
2.	Edit the case-sensitive password as desired.
3.	Repeat steps 1 and 2 in the Administrator Confirm Password field.
4.	Press the Tab key on the keyboard or click in another field to exit the
	Password field.
5.	Click the Submit button to make the password change take effect.

NTo delete a password, access this screen using the RS-232/RS-422 link or the Ethernet link logged on as an administrator, and delete the password in both fields. Click the Submit button.

The firmware upgrade utility provides a way to replace the firmware that is coded on the switcher’s control board without taking the switcher out of service.

NThe Firmware Loader must be installed on your computer to perform this operation. Extron recommends that you install this program when you install the ISS 506 Control Program. If you did not, you can be download it from the Extron Web site, www.extron.com, and install it separately.

Update the switcher firmware as follows:

1. Visit the Extron web site, www.extron.com, and click the Download tab (figure 5-20).

2.	Click the Firmware link.
3.	Select the appropriate firmware file to download and save it to your
	computer. Note the folder to which you save the firmware file.
4.	In the Windows Explorer or other file browser, double-click the downloaded
	executable (*.exe) file) to self-extract the firmware file.
5.	Connect a Windows-based computer to either ISS serial port or the ISS LAN
	port. See chapter 2, "Installation", for more details.

NThe Ethernet connection is much faster than the RS-232/RS-422 connection. Extron recommends using the Ethernet connection rather than the serial port for firmware uploads.
